Morris and Kingsbury each met with Texas Tech on Tuesday about its coaching vacancy, according to multiple sources. Texas Tech may settle on a replacement for Tommy Tuberville by the end of the weekend, according to sources.

Kingsbury, 33, enjoyed a prolific collegiate career as the Red Raiders' quarterback from 1998 to 2002. He is set to complete his first season at Texas A&M, where he coached Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and guided an offense that averaged 552.3 yards per game -- third in the FBS.

I'm not. He's only been a coordinator for one year and only a coach for four. Being a good coordinator doesn't necessarily mean you have the acumen for hiring coaches and all of the other things that a head coach is responsible for off the field.

For the record, their top candidate is Morris...and Kingsbury and Hance are not exactly on good terms after what happened with Leach.

Wont happen. Kingsbury hates Kent Hance and as told those around him he'll never go to Tech while he's there. The Leach debacle soured him. Word is this is a money play and A& M is about to give him a big raise.

Kingsbury is a good coach but he's far from the cog that drives the machine. It would be a stupid move on techs part hiring such an unproven HC after the subpar tuberville era (or typical Tech football up to before leach for the rest of us).

KK may well be offered and accept the job, but it is FAR from the done deal you are implying. First, he probably won't be offered the job. He is very young. While the fans want him, they would also be happy with Morris, who the admin (it is rumored) favor. Secondly, it is not a foregone conclusion that KK would accept the job if offered. He might, but he might not.

We will see. If he is offered and accepts the job, best of luck to him. Sumlin has always put a first rate offense on the field, regardless of who his OC was.
